New Strategy to Monitor and Assess Laboratory Biosafety Programs
Introduction Laboratory biosafety – a component of biosecurity – has specific elements that together, comprise a facility’s capability to both protect employees and the surrounding public and environment. Measuring these elements permits assessment and the costing of program-specific safety interventions. In the absence of a strategy and toolset, we developed a conceptual framework and toolset ...

متن کامل1 Laboratory Biosafety in Containment Laboratories
Microbiological research on and diagnostics of highly pathogenic microorganisms, namely bacteria and viruses, have to be conducted in containment laboratories in order to contain the infectious material. We are therefore referring to the ‘‘Concept of Biocontainment’’ – a concept, which dates back to the 1940s, when the first biosafety cabinet (BSC) class III was developed at the US Army Biologi...
